Governor General Designate with legal background
12 July 2010
It’s true, I am a bit disappointed I didn't get the call to be the new Governor General. It looks like a good gig: good salary, nice house, snappy uniform and access to an impressive wine cellar. It’s probably my own fault - I should have e-mailed the PM's office to let them know I was...

thumbnailArghhh...not again!

Yes, that's right: Chris and Heather are trying to put their hands in your wallet once again.

Since joining TEAM DIABETES 2009, the pair has been training hard in advance of their gruelling half marathon jaunt to remote Easter Island in June this year.  

The husband and wife team have committed to raising $20,000 for the Canadian Diabetes Association by participating in the run, and by badgering family, friends, current and former clients, as well as the innocent passers-by for sponsorship donations. With the Easter deadline upon them, here's your chance to boost

The 10 very best ways to FAIL at business

As a business lawyer, I’ve seen clients trash their businesses in a number of interesting and inventive ways. Over the years a few strong recurring themes have emerged, so I thought it would be worth sharing a list of the very best ways to kill your business. If you are anxious to put the poor company out of its misery quickly, I recommend combining several of these tips:

1. Take in partners. To fail faster, take in more partners. Partnership is an inherently unstable business structure, and over time even the smallest irritations can rub the relationship raw.

2. Don’t pay the government: use the money you collect for GST, PST and employees source deductions as working capital instead.

In the digital age even we lawyers make use of mod cons to keep up-to-date and at the peak of legal expertise. Just this week, for example, the Corporate Records Clerks at GreenWay Legal Centre participated in a webinar designed to bring them up to speed on new developments arising out of the BC Government's TILMA initiative to reduce barriers to trade among the western provinces. Recent changes make it far easier for BC companies to register extra-provincially to do business in Alberta, and to remain compliant with annual filings in both jurisdictions, the staff at GreenWay are now fully trained in these new procedures. Ongoing training - got to love it.

As part of the legal team that assisted the Tsawwassen First Nation Band Council with a number of estate matters, I am honoured to be a guest at the formal ceremony marking the signing of the historic treaty between the band and the Federal and Provincial government on 3rd April, 2009.

Canada's first modern, urban treaty gives the Tsawwassen First Nation control of its land and the chance at a prosperous future, as all reserve land is transferred into the Torrens land title system, from the "Certificate of Possession" regime formerly administered under Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.
